Laois manager: ‘Who knows? I might only have six weeks left in this job’

John Sugrue would have had his finger on the pulse in Laois long before becoming the county’s senior football manager.

It’s been eight years since he moved to Portlaoise and his physiotherapy business is well rooted in Kellyville Park, bang in the centre of the town.

The Main Street is basically over the back fence, the county council offices stare at him when the door is closed after him and O’Moore Park isn’t so much as a 10-minute stroll out the Abbeyleix Road.
